ABSTRACT
In addition, there are several interesting results apropos the theory of Relational Grammar. The study argues for the final intransitivity of antipassives, reflexives, reciprocals, and object cancellations in Halkomelem. Passives in Halkomelem are a third area of research with implications for the theory of Relational Grammar. Although evidence was not found, as Hukari suggests, that passives in Halkomelem involve unmotivated chomage, passives involving 1st and 2nd person departure objects were somewhat recalcitrant. Data involving raising indicated that the departure objects in Halkomelem passives were not final objects. In the case of 1st and 2nd person departure objects, however, the 1st and 2nd pronominal forms were in the objective case. Halkomelem passives with 1st and 2nd person departure objects, as with impersonal passives in other languages, can be adequately handled within the theory of Relational Grammar.
